According to her plea bargain, Isabel Sanchez said she did not know her brother was going to shoot anyone.

However, she also agreed that she drove her brother from the scene back to Wapato and that she switched the tires on her car the next day in an effort to cover up evidence.

Like her brother, Isabel Sanchez was originally charged with two counts of aggravated first-degree murder as well as two counts of first-degree assault.

All four charges were dropped, however. Per the terms of her plea agreement, one of the rendering charges was a gross misdemeanor and the other a felony.

In court documents, Isabel Sanchez is described as an eighth-grade dropout. Her only criminal conviction was a car theft case in 2004, when she was a juvenile.

Anthony Sanchez was sentenced Monday to 50 years in prison on a plea to reduced charges of second-degree murder. The sentence is widely believed to be one of the stiffest ever for a gang shooting in Yakima County.
